Alex Greenburg lives above a motorcycle shop in the Mission District in San Francisco. His professed dream is to make his life a work of art, and he is well on his way. His home, called "The SUB," is an old garage that he converted into a gallery, concert venue, and opulent kitchen (piles of sweet potatoes and parsnips atop the counter). If you visit his space and bribe him with a burrito, Alex will be sure to share one of his photo slideshows with you, an elaborate production and a form of presentation he views as crucial to understanding his work.

Alex was born in Boston and raised in Upland, California, but says he really "grew up" while studying the photography of William Eggleston at Stanford University. This photograph is a portrait of his college roommate, Anuk:

"He was riding his bicycle back from class to our shared home, The Enchanted Broccoli Forest. It was just after lunch, and I was wandering out back around our basketball court with my camera when I saw him coming up the path in the bright afternoon light. In my eyes, Anuk's beauty and antiquated style bring into being a timeless and magnetic aesthetic, and I'd made previous attempts to distill his magnetic presence. This day, however, the light was sculpting his form and vivifying all the colors I could see: the blue of his shirt, the variations of browns and tans in his skin and pants and seat, and the brilliant glittering gold of his suspenders. I directed him to the dry dead grass field adjacent to the court and told him to sit still while I readied my camera. It was then, in this moment purported transition, that I stole an exposure behind his back. People look best when they're unaware and in their element, caught in pure unconscious action."

ARCHIVAL CUSTOM FRAMING

We offer beautiful, high-quality custom frames to display and protect your prints. Our solid wood frames have a sleek satiny finish, and we use archival acid-free materials.

Our framers use beveled double-thick white mattes that are precision-cut to perfectly fit each print. There are at least three inches of matting on each side of the image to ensure the art is presented in an optimal way--matte borders will vary slightly based on the actual image size. All of our frames are finished on the back with protective paper and rubber bumpers and come ready to hang, including a sleeve to hold your certificate of authenticity.
